Delhi CM Rekha Gupta announces Rs 100 crore allocation per assembly constituency

New Delhi ( Pallavi Srivastava) : Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Friday said the Delhi government has allocated Rs 100 crore for every Assembly constituency and assured that there would be no shortage of funds for development, as she inaugurated an Ayushman Arogya Mandir and launched multiple development projects in the Tri Nagar Assembly constituency.

Addressing a public gathering, the Chief Minister said the government was committed to ensuring balanced development across all constituencies and urged elected representatives to continue identifying projects for execution.

"Tilak Ram ji just informed that the Chief Minister has allocated a budget of Rs 100 crore. But not a single person clapped! I'll even take back last year's funds, and let's not even talk about next year. Why aren't these people clapping? I think the work news hasn't reached them yet," Gupta joked, adding that "A Rs 100 crore budget to be spent in each Assembly constituency is a big deal. Earlier, an MLA's fund was only Rs 5 crore.

Today, roads, drains and pavements are being built in every colony. I won't let there be a shortage of funds; please just keep working."She said the BJP government had prioritised infrastructure development in areas that had remained neglected for years."

The Chief Minister inaugurated an Ayushman Arogya Mandir equipped with a dental clinic, eye care facilities, digital X-ray services and free diagnostic testing. She said the health centre would function as a "mini-hospital" providing accessible healthcare to local residents.Gupta also announced that 45 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs were being inaugurated across Delhi through the programme, taking the total number of such facilities in the national capital to 415.
